I've read that Ronni uses a Seymore Duncan humbucker in the bridge position and an EMG in the neck position.

My question is:
-the SD humbucker is _____ model
-the EMG single coil is _____ model.

Regarding the EMG pickup: my guess is that it's a S- or SA-serie (which has a different magnet). Am I sure? No! If you want to be sure you should look underneath the pickup.

Good luck! Cool

What I meant is that one can see underneath the pickup what type it is. Of course you cannot loan his guitar to check this out - but why not ask him?

He also used 'Magnetics' in the neck position (checker guitar) and the old Rockinger tremelo (both aren't in production annymore).

One important lesson (and I know what I'm talking about after 30 years): one's sound is coming from the fingers, from both hands (like Ritchie Blackmore once said). We can have exactly the same gear and still sound differently! Keep that in mind.

BEFORE I FORGET: check photo's to see (though that will be quite hard to do) if the EMG-logo on the pick-up is in 'silver' or in 'gold'. Says a lot about the type of pick-up.

Ha det,

Some useful facts from Ronni:

Checker guitar has the italian Magnetics pickup.

Otherwise it's Seymore Duncan custom and EMG active singlecoil pickups. (Ronni has enough spares to survive a long time) The EMG pickups have the gold logo.

Thanks everyone!
Is the Seymore Duncan custom a custom wound pickup made for RLT or a SD Custom Custom?

My main search is for a bridge humbucker that doesn't squeal, I've tried Dimarzio Steve's Special, SD '59, OBL, Bartolini,.. seems I spend more time soldiering pickups into my main guitar only to find it still squeals.
[a Floyd Rose strat with a bridge humbucker & neck single coil stack.]

I always rewire humbuckers to have 4 wire + shield (if they're only 2 wire) The 4 wire allows me to use special wiring of series/single/parallel, 3 tones out of one pickup.
Then I dip unwaxed pickups in melted wax to prevent coils from becoming micro phonic. (although it doesn't always solve the problem)

btw- I had a Rockinger tremolo before I discovered Floyd Rose trems, no comparison IMO, I much prefer the FR.

PS- the email relies aren't happening for me?

Just curious, anyone here own an Italian Magnetics pickup?

Is it a single coil or a stacked coil?

How rare are these pups? Cool

A fellow guitarist suggested I try the Seymore Duncan Allan Holdsworth signature humbucker pickup which has perfectly matched coils. The pickup is essentially the 'screw' coils from 2 JB humbuckers assembled into one humbucker.

I prefer matched coils for more noise cancellation with high gain rather than the new breed of pickups that use unmatched coils.

I am hopeless with knowing anything about that type of stuff.

I wish I could be of some help!

Sorry
